Appendix C: Supported RADIUS

attributes

Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series (WSS Software) supports the standard and extended RADIUS authentication
and accounting attributes listed in Table 49 on page 796. Also supported are Nortel vendor-specific attributes (VSAs),
listed in Table 50 on page 800.
An attribute is sent to RADIUS accounting only if the table listing it shows Yes or Optional in the column marked Sent
in Accounting-Request for the attribute and the attribute is applied to the client’s session configuration. Attribute values
have the following characteristics unless otherwise stated:
Strings can contain a maximum of 253 characters.
Integers are 4 bytes.
IP addresses are 4 bytes.
The RADIUS attributes WSS Software supports are based on these IETF RFCs and drafts:
RFC 2865, Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
RFC 2866, RADIUS Accounting
RFC 2868, RADIUS Attributes for Tunnel Protocol Support
RFC 2869, RADIUS Extensions
